Millennium by John Varley ('70s time travel/plane crash science fiction novel).
|
The Great Gatsby, and I am surprised to find the same kind of atmosphere I like in Jeffrey Eugenides.
Before that came Jonathan Coe's latest, which bored me and tasted like still water. In between was a comic book by one of my craves, Pixel Vengeur : ![]() |
The Big Short by Michael Lewis, which is a terribly pedestrian account of the financial crisis, but a quick read none the less.
My roommate was kind enough to get me a copy of The Magus by John Fowles, which I'll start after I finish this program in June. |
'Holes', easy read book I found in a box of shit I got.
Pretty good actually.. |

psch, they are all free in project gutenberg at this point, do a search. which means they also should be on dover thrift editions or similar imprints. they should also be (free) in the amazon kindle store. so you can download the files to a kindle or kindle reader software (in your computer) to make them more readable. i read him aaaages ago-- voyage to the center of the earth, 20,000 leagues under the sea, from the earth to the moon, etc. you got no library card? that shit *should* be there if you don't want to read in the computer. ----- EDIT: i read in a hurry and i thought you were having trouble finding them. so you WANT TO have trouble finding them? that's easily accomplished-- you're in LA. good luck sweating! |
just picked up a discount copy of 2066, only $8, that's less than a penny a page, what a bargain!

Rowan Williams - Silence and Honey cakes; the wisdom of the desert.
Not what I wanted it to be, but as ever a lovely piece of writing from dear Row. |
not as good as old man and the sea but pretty good ![]() |

Was curious if anyone here has read the Ryu Murakami novel of "Audition". The book was adapted into a pretty well known japanese horror film. If you seen the movie is the book still worth a read? Without going into detail, is the movie pretty faithful to the book or are there differences in the book that are worth appreciating?

I finished "Neuromancer" and really enjoyed it. I'm going to read "Carrion Comfort" by Dan Simmons next.
|
Just finished Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut, started reading Prisoners of the Stars (volume two of an anthology) by Isaac Asimov.
